DetailersDomain.com - All Season Detail - salt removal - 2014 Audi RS5

We had a new customer come into the shop with his brand new 2014 Audi RS5 in Missano Red - beautiful!

He wanted to get his car cleaned up because it was new but did not want to do a full correction on it due to the winter we have been having - just clean up the paint and provide some good protection. Once the roads clean up he will be back for a proper correction.

Take a look at our all season detail a great way to maintain the car and keep it looking good and protected.

Great job cleaning up the crud off of the RS5... As expected.

Hmm, unusual looking brake rotors... Any idea if that's just for style or is there more to it?

honestly I haven't used a home steamer in a long time some DIYers were using the Bissell but I'm not sure that would be enough.

ask the guys on www.detailingbliss.com
